Jerry Garcia Artist Snapshot:

Though he was chiefly known as the leader of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia was much more than that. For many, he was the embodiment of the freewheeling artistic spirit of the 1960s. A masterly guitarist and songwriter, and a highly underrated vocalist, Garcia was a true music lover, involving himself in numerous non-Dead projects over the years, including a duo with mandolinist David Grisman, a bluegrass supergroup (Old & In The Way), and jazzy one-offs with the likes of Merl Saunders and Howard Wales. His death in 1995 robbed the world of one of its most distinctive musical voices, but happily, Garcia left a wealth of music behind for fans to treasure.

Review

The Wire (p.56) - "Outside The Grateful Dead, guitarist Jerry Garcia channeled the overspill of his insatiable musical desires into space-jazz and gospel jams..."
Dirty Linen (p.57) - "The small band setting provided Garcia plenty of opportunity to solo and to trade licks with electric pianist Ozzie Ahlers."

Title Note

Jerry Garcia Band: Jerry Garcia (vocals, guitar); Ozzie Ahlers (vocals, keyboards); John Kahn (bass guitar); Johnny D'Foncesca (drums).

Additional personnel: Robert Hunter.

Recording information: Kean College, Union, New Jersey (02/28/1980).

Over the course of three discs, AFTER MIDNIGHT presents a 1980 Jerry Garcia Band concert in its entirety. During this period, the Grateful Dead were being revitalized, with a new keyboardist (Brent Mydland) and a new album (GO TO HEAVEN), but Garcia still found time to steal away with longtime bassist John Kahn, keyboardist Ozzie Ahlers, and drummer Johnny De Foncesca for some extracurricular activities. It's easy to see why this particular performance was singled out for release. Given Garcia's penchant for a laid-back (though brilliant) performance style, it's almost shocking to hear the forcefulness and soulful emotive qualities he brings to bear on the Motown staple "How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You" and the J.J. Cale classic "After Midnight," where his fiery guitar work is undeniably electrifying. Also interesting is the interplay with Ahlers, who took advantage of burgeoning synthesizer technology, incorporating extensive synth soloing into the proceedings and providing a fascinating foil for Garcia's liquid lead lines. Deadheads will also be delighted by the presence of Dead lyricist Robert Hunter on "Tiger Rose" and "Promontory Rider," two songs from his own solo repertoire.
